3D has landed on the AppStore

Alexandria, VA., — June 7, 2010 — Vito Technology announces two
special versions of Solar Walk and Star Walk prepared to inaugurate
WWDC. A revolutionary feature has been added to Solar Walk: the STEREO
MODE for viewing planets in 3D glasses. Star Walk app has also been
updated with several great additions like a NEW view of Picture of the
Day, Bookmarks as well as Facebook and Twitter connect.

Solar Walk is officially the first app ever on the AppStore to bring
3D to iPads and iPhones. With special 3D stereo glasses you can nearly
fly to the planets and view them in a more realistic way. None of the
Apps have ever had this amazig feature before! Come on, we know you
have those glasses since Avatar and waiting to use them again, put
them on and touch the planets with Solar Walk.

Star Walk 4.2.1 has several completely new features as well as
improved functionality. First of all, we added an easy sharing
interface, allowing users to share their experience with their friendson Twitter and Facebook; and for those always eager to know more -
there is no need to navigate out of the app for Wikipedia, the
articles will now open within the app on the iPad version. Secondly, a
completely revised Bookmarks feature will help you save your favorite
night sky journeys. The redesigned Astronomy Pictures of the Day
feature lets you flip through the most beautiful cosmic images ever
made with a convenient slide show. We also managed to fix the compass
malfunction and added moon phases so now you will never miss moon
changes.

Solar Walk 1.3 features include:

* 3D STEREO MODE: ability to view the planets via 3D stereo glasses.
Everybody using 3D glasses can tour the Solar system in a 3D mode.

Star Walk 4.2.1 features include:

* NEW VIEW OF BOOKMARKS AND PICTURE OF THE DAY: you can easily scroll
through the list of astro pictures and save bookmarks in a more
convenient manner.
